Check you have the correct year of gasket!
There is a slight difference in the areas you pointed out for the up to 2005 and post 2005 where the castings changed slightly due to removal of the counter balancer casting with the flat top generator cover.
#Edit
Found the scans I took of the gaskets I got.
Red one is upto 05
Grey is 05 on overlaid.
Main differences are 2 holes around crank case and casting difference under the reed area. Confirmed by fitting 2001 LH to 2006 RH cases.
